Take a Picture

As a whole school this week we will be completing different literacy based tasks around this image. Today in Year 1 we made inferences and answered questions about this picture. Here are our responses:

1. How does this picture make you feel and why? 

• The picture made me feel sad because the countryside is getting smaller. 
• This picture makes me feel angry because it is zipping up the countryside. 
• This picture makes me feel strange because it is difficult to understand and explain why the city is getting bigger. 

2. Is the zipper opening or closing? Why? 

• It is closing because the tractors are going away fast.
• It is closing because the buildings are becoming straight

3. What are the tractors doing Why? 

• The tractors are harvesting the field because that is what they do in the countryside. 
• The tractors are running away from the zip because it is closing the countryside. 
• The tractors are rushing away because they do not want to get squashed or broken. 

4. What message is the picture trying to tell us? 

• The picture is telling us a clue of what could happen to the countryside.
• The want us to answer why the countryside is getting smaller. 
• The picture is trying to tell us that the zipper is zipping up the field and there is more city than countryside. 

5. What do you think could happen next?

• The countryside could be destroyed if the zip is closed all of the way up. 
• The countryside could end if we do not stop the cities. 
• The zip could go back to the beginning because it is tired out.
